And to this day Voonrezs has so many ad- mirora among the Union veterans of Indiana that they are now arranging for a mass- mooting whoreat to oxpress their opinion of the man whose Copperhondiam was uncon- cealod and notorions, nnd who has Jately had the hardihood to pretend to have boon as good a friend to the Union soldior as tho lamented Monro was. Tho voto'of Judicial bill No. 2 ia propared ond will be sent to Congress to-day, when, of course, it will fail for lack of the necessary " two-thirds vote, evon if it do not fail of coming to a vote for lack of a quorum in the House, which.now seems probable. Whather or not a final ddjournmont is had previous to the passago of snothor Dill,’ it is now rogardad ag cortain that the Presidont will not again convona Congress in oxtra session, but will lot tho nullifiera go home to thoir constituents with a record mado up of’ a rofusal to voto an appropri- ation for United States Marshtls for all the Foderal Courts unloss upon condition that it bo mado a criminal offense puuishablo with flue and Imprisonment for the officors of tho Courts to rospoct their cath of offlca and oxeouto a law of tho ‘United States unropealed and in full force upon tho statute books, Our Washington dispatches predict vory positively that another oxtra session will not be called. ——__ Tho situation in Congress with reapcot to adjournment is exceedingly complicated. It is apparontly certain that a quorum will not bo present in either Mouse to-day whon tho Presidont’s voto of Judicial bill No. 2 in re. ceived, and itis an open question whether under such clroumstances it will bo possible to obey tho constitutional requirement that tha question whother tho bill ahall pass notwithstanding tho voto shall be im. medintely put to yote, aa it maine tained that o vote cannot bo taken with loss than 8 quorum prosent, and that until quorum is present and voting thu House cannot adjourn, Morsover, tho Sen- ato has not passed the joint resolution for final adjournmont to-day, and cannot pass it unless a quorum be prosent. There was not Squoram presont in elthor Hongo at tho time of adjournment Saturday, aud from tho number of Senators and Hopresentatives who have left for thoir homos it seems unlikely that Congress can adjourn to-day, ————_—E==— ‘There aro fow modes of spending monsy which insure 0 greater dogrea of wholesome enjoymont to a greater number of people thon that adopted by Mr, Perry II.

It started out to “boom”; it endsin n fizzle. It was sent forth like a rocket; it comes down like a miserablo stick. Tho blaze of glory has fadod into a dim reflection of disappointed hopes. The promisa of now life, after three months of vicious exceskes, is followed by a half-hearted death-bed ropontance. ‘Tho prostitution of the National Legislature to partisan ambition finds its proper punish- ment in a confcssion of failuro and the con- tempt of the people, Tho Democratic man- agors havo demonstrated in a ‘brief poriod their utter incapacity for public affairs, and their solfish willingness to sacrifice public wolfaro to party mntriguo and personal greed, The pity is that the country must share tho disgrace and injury of thoir pettifogging and blundoring. - . Tt is atill a mattor of doubt, howevor, whoth or to-day will bring oven a respite to the country from Democratic intrigue. Tho two Judicial bills have passed both Houses, The ono providing for tho chief expounes of the Courts without political restrictions will be signed by the President; tho other mak. ing appropriations for the United States Mar- shals, but containing the clause designed to nullify the Election Inws, will be votocd. This was a foregone conclusion on Saturday, when tho Houso resolved to adjourn to-dny ‘at 4 o'clock, but the Senato failed to concur in the resolution. It is by no means certain that the Senate will have the necessary quo- rium to act on this resolution to-day, oven if the Democratio Senators aro united in the dotermination to adjourn without completing tho appropriations. And if adjournmont bo effected under that condition, it may be that tho President will deem it his duty to call another extra session. Either of those pos. sible occurrences will prolong tho agony of final dissolution indefinitely. As tothe action of tho President, there are rensons why ho should call avother ses. sion of Congress, and also rensons why ho should decline to do so.: Obstinate insistonco upon the pringiple involved in the contro- vorsy botween tho Executive and Congress would require the enlling of another session, The Congresstonal majority havo asserted thoir right to withhold supplies for carrying on tho Government unless the President shonld gurronder his constitutional function to their partisan dictation, Tho President hos denied this right and rosistod its asser- tion, In tho struggle that has been going on for three months the Democrats hava yielded ground, step by step, before tho Prosidential voto and the force of publicopinion. They started to deny support to tho army, and to the executive, legislative and judiciol branches of tha Govorn- mont, bnt thoy have gradually conceded unrestricted supplies for all the branchosand doparmonts of tho public service excopt for the pay of the United States Marshals, Asa mattor of principle, the President would bo right in asserting that the Congressional cabal as no’ more, authority to attempt to coerce him into surrendering his constitu- tional prerogative by attacking this single branch of tho servico than it had when it threatened to starve out the entire Govern- ment, Thia view of tho caso would justify the President in reconvening Congress in order to make a thorough and final test of the caso, v On tho other hand, good policy and tho wolfare of the country would seem to exact that Congrces bo allowed to go its way, if the majority decide to adjourn without ap. proprinting for tho pay of the United Statea Marshula, ‘Lbia action of the majority will boamere semblance of tho starvation pro- gramme, and it will be properly appreciated by the American peuple asa petty pleco of unreasoning spite. ‘I'he Jack of appreciation for the United States Marshals may causo tho Governmont a good doal of annoyance and infllot au injury upon on unoffending class of officials, but it will probably not necessitate tho closing of tho United Btates Courts, and honco not materially affect tho causo of jus. tica or tho intorcats of the people at large, and consiatontly coneludo that the partlean malioo of the procecding will bo fully under. stood by the people, and that it will bo wiser to save tho actual cost and avert tho public alarm incidont to another extra seusion, rather than enduro thesg ovils in tho assor- tion of a principlo which, with his courageous ossistanco, has already been well vindicated, ‘Whatover the courso of ovents may be after to-day, tho responsibility for all tho damage that has been dono and all that may atill, bo done to the public welfare will be upon the Democratio majority in Congross, If the Prosident shall oall anothor oxtra ses- slon of Congress, it will be beoausa tho Domocrata in control have trenchorously refused to vote all tho supplies necessary for the support of the, Government, for the roagon that they could not impose their par. tisan schomea upon tho country, If the President refuse (o call another extra sos: sion, aud the publio service suffer from the Democratig denial of appropriations for the pay of the United States Marshals, the party managers will be accountable to their polit. ical organization, ond the party itself to tho country, for this flagrant violation of their duty. If therowhall be a failure to adjourn bocauso of the lack of a quorum in either. House of Oongross, tho fault will still be with the Domocrata, because they have a full majority in both Houses, constituting a quo- rum, and thoy ought to have remained in THE CHICAGO, TRIBUNE: MO Washington to ondure tho ponnities of their own porvorsity, From every possible point af view, thorofore, tho disgrace of thia oxtra session, and tho responsibility for all tho evit it has done, rest upon tha Domocratic party, and tho only consolation tho country has is that thia patly has failod to infllot freator injury and diagraco by its, inability to repeal or nullify the Election laws. TRE YEAR'S BALANCE OF TRADE, Tho fitenl yenr of tho United States Tronsury closes to-day, June 30, Tho ac- counts of tho Treasury cannot, of course, be balanced inti! o few days aftor tho yonr olosca, because returns have to be received from tho distant Custom-Houses, ‘Tho fig urea, however, for the twelve months ending May 31, 1879, are known, nnd tho accounts of tho exports and importa for the year com- pare with the same period of the previous yenr a8 follows: Exports ovor imports to May 31, 1878, Samo to May G1, 1870 o..seee sien os Total to Years... seeesseeoee « GI13, HOD, B15, Theso are the oxporte of, merchandiso alono, and do not includa bullion and coin, In other words, the people of tho United States have sold during the Inst yoar about 270,000,000 of thoir production in excess of thelr purchaser, and that sum represents tho surplis product of the national industry, During these two years the Amorican people lave not only provided thomsclvos with all thoy needed, but have produced all that was requirod fortheir own wants, and out of thoir surplus producta have sold morchandiso, food, raw material, and manufactured goods to the amount of 2500,000,000, This explains the wondorfal financial sno- cosa of the country during the two yanrs just ending. During that time we hnvo retained all our money at homo, snd have placed to our credit abroad this enormous sum repre sonting our surplus wealth. Tho Old World, $241, 859,929 260,700, 870 Tho Prosidont aay, therefore, reasonably. which has beon holding our bonds and drawing from this country such a large sum annually of gold for interest, has boen compelled to rend these bonds back to this country and surrondor them, and, instead of drawing away from this country the pro- eceds, they have taken in exchango this sur- plus earnings of our industry. During these two years wo have boen able to pay off goven hundred millions‘of onr old high intercst- benring bonds, and have transferred that dabt to the hands of our own people; wwe hava arrested the auntal export to other nations of over forty millions of coin to pay interest, and now distribute the reduced aggregate of intereat ‘among our own people, ‘This is tho financial revolution which has been accom- plished by the shipmont of our: surplus products during tho last fow yenrs, Had we not had this surplus to export, what would have been our financial condi- tion? We would have beon dramod of ovory dollar of coin and of bullion to pay the in. terest on our foreiga-hald bonds aud to pay for onr foreign purchnaes; wo would havo been unable {o resume apecio paymonta; the country would have been unablo to rosumo production or consumption; Iabor would havo been unamployed; and tho prostration of 1873 would have been porpetuated to this time, and with no prospect of any rocovary, Tho country was nover so supplied with capital seeking employment os now, ‘ho enormous rates of interest sought and ex- pected during the years of inflation and apec- ulation have beon abandoned.- Tho fact that $500,000,000 of. bonds bearing only 4 per cent intoront found purchasors at home within 100 days gives proof that capital is now con- tent with s reasonable componention, Tho momont that production was able to earn tho smallest profit, that moment production was resumed, and.Iabor was again omployed and industry became prosperous. The cheapness of produotion - by distributing wages, in. creased consumption, and under the recipro- cal relations of consumption and production, American industry was entoring upon a pros- perity that it has hitherto nevor experienced. Juat at this moment, when the convaloscent is avout putting his renowed energies and strongth to usc, Ignorance and funaticisin interpeso with quack nostrums. American industry is now told that surplus of produc- tion is o destructive ovil which must bo chocked by reducing the hours of Inbor, and by increasing tho cost of production reduce consumption. ‘To accomplish those, Amori- can Iqbor isappealed to, not only not to work as many hours os heretofore, but not to work at oll, Tho appeal is mado in: the fnco of tho wonderful results of the surplus prod- ucts of tho Inat two years, to srnie!

The exclusion of Oapt, Cowpen, and scomtugly of overy por- son who is willing to givo the outlot plan o fair hearing, appears to be o complete surrender of. the Commis. sion into the bands of tho Southern subsidy-hunters, Cowney’s plan fs the only one that is recommended by any actunl test, for tho break in the Bonnot Onrre crovassa has demonstrated tho actual power of out- lets to lower the rivor, Tho ombankmont syaten: finds only discouragement in the ex. perience that hans beon had with tho levace constructed in the past by private and Stato enterprises, which have boon a constant ex- pense and no protection.
